and you know, the implied message behind these people's "well it's here and it's the future so get used to it" is basically "adapt or die" in more flowery words, which, extending the metaphor, is "hey if you get too loud about the kid in the Omelas hole we might throw you in there as well"
anyway, I've lost respect for a tremendous number of people in the technology field over the past few years, and I can't pin that on *me* changing or even *them* changing, just, circumstances giving us better opportunities to reveal ourselves. And it's very disheartening.
If you're feeling something similar about the people around you, you should know you're not alone. I suspect there are a lot of us feeling this right now
